Transcription:
"M d Φ
Bentley's is a stupid letter. I am sorry I told you prematurely. I didn't know it was premature. I was talking it over with Schuster and thought that now was the time to drop a hint, Glad to hear of Larmor's good work. He seems to be on the right track. Has he been to Dublin? Or how do you know about it?
